The Braves took full advantage of their homestand to regain some momentum, going 5-1 and securing back-to-back series wins—exactly the boost they needed after a shaky stretch. Much of that stability came thanks to Bryce Elder , who, despite a modest stat line of just two strikeouts and three walks, delivered the kind of long, steady outing the team had been craving.
While it might be premature to call it a turning point for Elder, his performance gave the Braves a real chance to win, and the offense did just enough behind him, with Eli White delivering the exclamation point via a clutch eighth-inning homer.
Jesse Chavez rejoined the big league squad before Wednesday’s game, though he wasn’t needed thanks to Elder’s outing, which allowed the bullpen to rest and set the tone for the team’s upcoming road trip out west.

The Braves’ current trajectory has lifted them out of early-season chaos and into more stable territory, with their record now reflecting a team that’s capable of turning things around. However, consistency remains key if they hope to truly compete in a tight playoff race.
With reinforcements like Ronald Acuña Jr. on the way, there’s reason for optimism—but the Braves will need to replicate this kind of performance on the road to keep climbing.
